AA/AS in Human Services, General

This associate degree prepares students to assist individuals, families and communities through direct support, crisis intervention, counseling, administration and case management. Theory meets practice early, since three internships at local nonprofit agencies are required and the first begins in the opening semester. Liberal arts classes are combined with human services foundations, and the practicum readies students to start helping people in the field. Graduates may transfer as juniors into bachelor's programs such as social work, human development, applied psychology or human services. The in-person degree is offered at Morrisville and Norwich and is described as 64 credits over about two years. Prospective applicants can use the program page to request information or begin an application.
